A college is starting a recycling program. The relationship between the total cost of the program, C, and the number of recycling bins, n, is represented by the equation C = 48n + 75.

The college must have a minimum number of 12 recycling bins.

The college has a maximum of $1000 to spend.
What are the possible values of C and n in this situation?

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer

0.6, 3/5, and 6% are the 3 same portion.

but, when they're all changed to a decimal they would equal to 0.6.

hope this , good luck!
